Hey people,

I´m having a funny error on openSUSE 10.3 startup on my laptop. Since the install process, when I boot, the openSUSE only load the tasks if I use the touchpad or press some key on my keyboard.

For example, I can leave openSUSE starting, and when I back, 5 or 10 minutes later, the loading process continues in the same point. But, when I press any key, or use the touchpad, the process continues. The same thing happens when I work with some tasks, like terminal, or another process on KDE.

Check to see if your bios has some powersaving turned on. Are you watching the messages scroll by when booting? Does it stop and ask for anything, or alert you to some thing that needs attention? -- ----------JSA--------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sounds familiar. If it happens with the system fully running, it is known. [Bug 350980] New: The system stops doing things till I press a key or move the mouse: every things halts. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=350980 The known hack is to have another machine (a router, for instance) continously ping your machine to keep it awake. Please, _add_ _your_ _report_ to the _bugzilla_. If more people are known to have the same problem, it will get more attention. I'll have to check this in factory. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
